I am the living bread, that is come down from heaven: whosoever shall eat of this bread, shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. Upon this the Jews disputed among themselves, saying, how can this man give us his flesh to eat? but Jesus answer'd, I assure you, except ye eat the flesh of the son of man, and drink his blood, ye will have no life in you. read more.
he that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. for my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. he that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. as the father who is the source of life hath sent me, and I live by the father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. this is that bread which came down from heaven: very different from that manna, which your fathers did eat but died nevertheless: he that eateth of this bread, shall live for ever. These things said Jesus in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. when many of his disciples, who heard him, said, this is strange doctrine, who can hear it? Jesus perceiving in himself, that his disciples murmured at it, said to them, doth this offend you? what if you should see the son of man ascend up where he was before? it is the action of the mind that vivifies, that of the body profits nothing: the words that I have delivered to you, spiritually understood, give life.

The day following, the people who stay'd on the other side of the sea, perceiving that there had been only that single vessel in which his disciples were embark'd, that Jesus did not embark with his disciples, but that his disciples were gone away alone: (however, there came other barks from Tiberias, nigh the place where they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks.) the people likewise seeing that Jesus was not in those barks, nor his disciples, went on board them, and cross'd to Capernaum in quest of Jesus. read more.
And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, master, when did you arrive here? Jesus answered them, I declare unto you, you seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye had loaves to eat, and were filled. work not for the food which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto everlasting life, and which the son of man shall give unto you, for to him it is that the father, that is God, has given his credentials. then said they to him, what shall we do, that our works may he agreeable to God? Jesus answered them, the work which God requires is to believe on him whom he hath sent. but said they, what miracle then will you let us see to make us believe you? what strange work will you perform? our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, "he gave them bread from heaven to eat." Jesus answer'd, I assure you, Moses did not give you the celestial bread; but my father gives you the true celestial bread. for he who is descended from heaven, and gives life to the world, is the bread that is truely divine. then said they, Lord, evermore give us this bread. Jesus answer'd, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me, shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me, shall never thirst. but I have already told you, that tho' you have seen me, you do not believe. all those whom my father gives me, shall come to me; and I will not reject any that come to me. for I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me. and the will of him who sent me is this, that I should not lose any one of those he has given me, but should raise them again at the last day: this, I say, is the will of him that sent me, that every one who observes the son, and believeth on him, should have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. The Jews then murmured against him, for having said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven." is not this, said they, Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how comes he then to say, I came down from heaven? Jesus therefore replied, murmur not among your selves. no man can come to me, except the father who hath sent me, conduct him: and I will raise him up at the last day. it is written in the prophets, "they shall be all taught of God." every man therefore that hath heard the father, and been instructed by him, cometh unto me. not that any man hath seen the father, except him who is come from God, he hath seen the father. I declare unto you, he that believeth on me hath everlasting life. I am the bread of life, your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and there they died. but this is the bread which came down from heaven, that he who eats thereof should not die. I am the living bread, that is come down from heaven: whosoever shall eat of this bread, shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
